Vermilion Ohio, A Good Place to Live
SHOPTALK: Struggling this week with errors by truck shipping carriers and software glitches with security cameras I left most of this part of the page on the desk of the museum. But in the meantime:
Both the desktop pix this week were among a plethora (30 or 40) film negatives I came across this week at the museum. All were taken during Vermilion's Centennial Parade in 1937.
On my home desk this week is a unique pic of an ox cart and a covered wagon. The photo was taken on Liberty street between Decatur and Perry streets. I note that the covered wagon is being drawn by a pair of mules.
On the shop desk this week is a very unique photo of the old bandwagon. It's unique because the sign on the truck says "Stone's Garage". I was always under the impression that the truck and band were sponsored by the local post of the American Legion.
The band truck is parked in front of Waddie Stone's garage on Liberty. That garage was later the home of Sharpnack's Chevrolet and Oldsmobile dealership. At that time Stone may have also been selling Oldsmobiles. Some years earlier he was involved with Elton Fischer in an Olds dealership located in the Fischer building further down the street.
Across the street - behind the truck - is Walker's garage. At that time Walker's was a Hudson dealership. I note that they were selling the infamous Terraplane at that time. They were very cool cars (in my opinion).
While the truck is facing west the parade ran west to east as is obvious in the ox cart pic. These photographs were a very nice find - and I'll feature more of them in the future.

Historically,
LOUIS WELLS I PRESUME: On his way to a family reunion that was being held at the old Shore Inn west of Vermilion and engineer named Lewis Wells noticed the swampland on the northeast side of the Vermilion River and envisioned what locals now know as the Vermilion Lagoons.
It’s impossible to say if he envisioned what the subdivision eventually became. But even if it was only a vision of a seasonal development with cottages and dockage along the river near Lake Erie it turned out to be a stroke of genius.
It might be argued that if someone tried to implement such development today (2016) it likely would be prohibited because of the wetlands habitat. But no matter. Wells got in under the proverbial wire – and the Cape Cod-like homes are admired by visitors and passersby.
VHS CLASS REUNION: Will be held July 15-16, 2016, for the VHS Class of 66....they need addresses,email, etc. Folks can call Carolyn Hill @:440-967-2821 or email her: carolyn_hill20@hotmail.com.
THE NEWS BUILDING – 727 GRAND STREET: Although the historic plaque on the building says that it was constructed in 1905 the building was actually built in the fall of 1904 and occupied by November of that same year. (For whatever reason it took a few months for the paper work to catch up.)
The initial / old pic of the building is a scan of a metal printing plate. The image was used on postcards printed in 1905-06. The changes in the structure are very subtle. But visitors to the upper floor of what is now the Vermilion News Print Shop Museum often note that the addition to the back of the building was (for whatever reason) just an inch or two lower than the original building.
The museum not only features century old letter press printing equipment, it also has on display numerous historic artifacts / documents from the town’s past. It’s a fun place to visit.
AGAIN - ANOTHER NEW (NOW OLD) THING: Initially I said that "This will not take the place of the "Macabre" stuff all the time - but will supplement whilst I search for more macabre stories to tell." But methinks that it's carved out a niche for itself and the "Macabre stuff" with have to find another.
So stay tuned...

Hmmmmmm....
where they were interred - probably since the early 1930s"
VERMILION BANKING – TOUGH TIMES: On June 7, 1915 Pearl Roscoe, Editor and Publisher of The Vermilion News weekly deposited $50.03 into an account at The Bank of Vermillion Company. To most – or at least a good number of persons today (2016) fifty bucks ain’t much money. But taking into account 100 years of inflation that $50.03 would translate to $1,175.64 in today’s currency.
In 1915 a loaf of bread cost 15¢. (Today it’s nearly $2.) A half-gallon of milk was about 18¢. (Today it’s around $2) Sugar cost 33¢ for a five-pound bag. (Today it’s about $2.50.) A pound of steak was about 26¢, (Today it’s just $$$.) Given these figures it appears that Roscoe – or at least his newspaper and printing business – was doing quite well.
I found these bankbooks along with a number of other financial papers last week inside an old wooden file box where they were interred - probably since the early 1930s when the entries in them appear to have abruptly ended. That, of course, is when the dark shadow of the era we’ve come to call “The Great Depression” (1929 – 1939) fell across America – and, of course, our little town. On March 6, 1933 newly elected President Roosevelt issued a Proclamation (2039) ordering the suspension of all banking transactions, effective immediately. The terms of the proclamation specified that “no such banking institution or branch shall pay out, export, earmark, or permit the withdrawal or transfer in any manner or by any device whatsoever, of any gold or silver coin or bullion or currency or take any other action which might facilitate the hoarding thereof; nor shall any such banking institution or branch pay out deposits, make loans or discounts, deal in foreign exchange, transfer credits from the United States to any place abroad, or transact any other banking business whatsoever.”
Although the book entries for Roscoe’s accounts with the Cleveland Trust Company, the Erie County Bank and The Bank of Vermillion Company all ceased in 1933, the newspaper and printing business certainly did not. Much later I would hear some tales from my mother about grandma’s distrust of banks during that period. (e.g. She would secretly hide money in books around the house and grandpa would apparently – just as secretly – “liberate” the cache before it was entirely forgotten.) After all, they had a business to run and a household to keep. But in any case, they were able to survive those dark years.
Cleveland Trust and the *Erie County banks also survived. But The Bank of Vermillion did not. Established in 1906 by a group of local men: J.H. Baumhart, George Shadduck, A.H. Leimbach, W. H. Ackerman, G. Nolte, L.J. Decker, George Bell, Wheeler Washburn and J.W. Wittmer it was among some 4000 American banks that would forever remain closed.
The building that housed the bank was built and opened to some 700 visitors in 1907. It was handsomely furnished with mahogany woodwork and a dull brass screen at the rear for private rooms. The steel ceiling and walls were decorated to match the furniture. The floors were of mosaic tiles. The vault was equipped with modern appliances for both convenience and safety. On the cement walk in front of the building were brass letters that spelled out the work “BANK”. They were some of the first brass cast in Vermilion by the F.W. Wakefield Brass Company. It was, and remains, an extremely attractive structure. For a long time it housed the Williams Law Office. Today (2016) it is the home of a business called “The Wine Vault”.
Well, things have certainly changed over the last century. None of the banking institutions that survived the era exist any longer – at least not in name. But like the one that failed in 1933 all the buildings in town where banking was done in a yesteryear still exist. That you can take to the bank.
NOTE:I was mistaken about who did or did not survive this banking holiday. Neither Vermilion bank survived. They were, in fact, merged: Partially (but only partially) due to the fact that I am unable to afford a microfilm reader with a motorized carrier delving into past issues of the NEWS leaves me somewhat handicapped. As a consequence it’s not always easy to present (as the late radio personality Paul Harvey would say) “the rest of the story”.Among other things I was just recently enlightened as to the “whole” story regarding the demise of the old Vermillion Banking Company.
I have in the past indicated that the bank failed during the years of the Great Depression (1929 into the late 1930s) in America. But that is not exactly the whole story.
What actually happened was that during the “banking holiday” in March of 1933 was that the Erie County Bank and the Vermillion Banking Company were reorganized and merged as the Vermilion Banking Company.
At one point a Sandusky attorney was promoting the merging all of the banks in Erie County into a single bank. Both the people of Vermilion and the directors of both banks summarily rejected The proposal.
So, the Vermillion Banking Company did not really fail; it was merged. And you can take that to the bank.
The following article appeared in the Sandusky Star-Journal on Friday May5, 1933:
WOULD MERGE TWO VERMILION BANKS Waivers to Be Circulated
Among Stockholders
Next Week.VERMILION, May 5—Depositors in the two local banks, neither of which have yet obtained their licenses will receive 60 per cent of their money, In the near future if plans for organization of a new bank are successful, it was reported Thursday.
Report on progress of plans for rehabilitation of the two Vermilion bank s was disclosed by F. I. Wilson, member of the depositors committee. Commutes from both banks are meeting to consider the merger into a new bank.
State bank supervisors will require $50,000 capital and $25,000 surplus to be raised to finance the new Bank, Wilson announced. Stock will have a $25 a share par value and will sell at $37.50.
Stockholders in the Bank of Vermilion and Erie-Co Banking Co., may take stock in the new bank equal in amount of their holding in the old banks and be relieved of double liability against their old bank stock. No double liability claims against stockholders will be pressed at present although the guarantee will be held as security, according to C. G. Bell, conservator.
"Reorganization of a new bank is the best plan. I think that the program will be successfully carried through and have hopes of getting depositors 100 cents on their dollar. Waivers will be circulated among depositors next week". Bell said.
And, finally, in on September 19, 1940 this article appeared in the Sandusky Star-Journal
The Erie County United Bank
Vermilion & MilanUnder the new order of things, there seems to be three major considerations in selecting a bank — SAFETY — SERVICE — FRIENDSHIP
Our ambition is not to see how many customers we can serve in our capacity as bankers — but how well we can perform this service. We are simply meeting to-day's problems with to-day's viewpoint. With a Board of Directors and Officers, composed of leaders in this community, this Bank is naturally in close touch with the development and needs of Erie County. It offers its services, based upon its banking facilities and a desire to be helpful to this community and the personal interest of its patrons.
The Erie County United Bank was opened as a new bank, Jan. 2, 1940, which was a consolidation of the hank at Milan and the Vermilion bank. It is now one staple organization with officers at Milan and Vermilion.
The officers, all local people are as follows: F. I. Wilson, Chairman of the Board; A. L Hoover, President. Wade Roberts, Active Vice President, Frank Russell, C. H. Parsons, and Paul Ruetenik, Vice Presidents, L H. Kishman, Secretary; C. P. Sickenger, Treasurer; Mary McLane, Cashier, and W. E. Childs, Assistant Cashier.
The Capitol, preferred and common stock is $100,000, with Total Resources of approximately one and a half million.
The Erie County United Bank is a member of the Federal Insurance Depositors Cooperation, with stability assured.
…way of the Western Islands, Iceland and Greenland, or as the Welsh expedition of Madoc did in 1170 A. D., or as Christopher Columbus did in 1492, or as might have been done by an earlier, bolder navigator by way of the mid-ocean island Atlantis, of which we read (though always doubtingly) in Plato, and which the right of authority pronounces fabulous. "But" we do not know where they came from, when and how they disappeared, whether they were extinguished by war, pestilence, or famine, or ultimately degenerated into barbarians, or whether they slowly moved to the southwest and finally came within the domain of history as Aztecs, or some more ancient people, once of prehistoric times in Mexico or Central America."
We leave then the speculations of theorists for the more practical knowledge of the Mound Builders, as shown by their works, which have been examined and explored in this State. These consisted of mounds, effigies and inclosures, and from the first, which, predominating, gave the name of "Mound Builders" to this people.
Those who have given this subject the most study and examination have classified the mounds into sepulchral, sacrificial, temple (or truncated) mounds, also mounds of observation and memorial or monumental mounds. Effigies are also called animal mounds; sometimes, too, they are named emblematic or symbolic mounds.
"Inclosures are of several kinds, one class being known as military or defensive works, another as parallel embankments or covered ways, and the third as sacred inclosures."
But it is not well to pursue this theoretical subject further for the purposes of this chapter. None of these higher grades of mounds have been discovered in this locality, although they have been known elsewhere in Ohio. Still there have been found in Erie county evidences of the presence hereof this lost and unknown people. Many of what has been believed to be the remains of mounds in various localities hereabouts have been explored and implements of warfare and for domestic use among the Mound Builders have been taken from them.
A few interested persons, residents of Sandusky and elsewhere in the county, have given these matters some attention. Therefore, by request, we present to the readers of this work the results of examinations made by Charles N. Freeman, of the city of Sandusky, written and contributed expressly for this chapter:
Contrary to the generally accepted opinion, Erie county bears abundant evidence of occupancy by a race of people ante-dating the present race of Indians, or their generally accepted ancestors. Although there are no large mounds, or those of peculiar shape, such as are found in the central and southern parts of the State, yet a close examination of the knolls along the banks of the rivers and creeks tributary to Sandusky Bay and Lake Erie reveals the fact that mounds did exist here in large numbers. The action of time, and…
The case presents two features: That which is known and that which is not known concerning them, and the latter is largely in preponderance. "Europeans, Egyptians and Asiatics might have voyaged across the Atlantic by…
THE PICKLEWORKS: Nope. This is not a figment of imagination nor is it an old pic. I shot this photo on Wednesday afternoon at the museum.
A few days earlier Marlene Calvert-Feldkamp stopped by and donated two full cases of South Shore bottled olives to the museum.
I don’t know if the olives are eatable, but I can’t imagine that they wouldn’t be; they’re pickled.
At one time most of the printing below the logo was printed with the old Chandler-Price letter press in the print shop. I’m thinking that the smaller printing on these particular labels was printed at the pickelpackingplant (try saying that fast).
As many of us older Vermilionites know the South Shore plant was, at one time, the largest olive packing plant in the U.S. Every time one passed the plant (now a boating business) on the corner of W. River Road and Ohio Street you would catch the odor of the brine from all the barrels stored in the yard.
Them were the days.
There are only two kinds of drivers: Idiots and Maniacs. Idiots include anyone that drives slower than you, and the Maniacs are everyone that drives faster than you.
LOCAL ANNOUNCEMENTS: After giving it much thought this link has been "put-down". During the last year most of the folks who used to use this page as a bulletin board have acquired their own and, consequently, no longer need this forum from "Views". I have, however, kept links (in the links section) to Larry Hohler's "Hope Homes" in Kenya - and to Bette Lou Higgins' Eden Valley Enterprises sites. They are historically and socially relevant projects. I suggest that you visit these sites on a regular basis to see "what's shakin'".
Persons interested in the history of the Lake Shore Electric Railway (which was the subject of a recent past podcast series) - "the greatest electaric railway system on the planet" may want to go to Amazon.com and purchase a book called "Images of Rail - Lake Shore Electric Railway". It was put together by Thomas J. Patton with the help of my friends DENNIS LAMONT and ALBERT DOANE. It'd make a nice gift.
Another great book with Vermilion Roots is, "Grandma's Favorites: A Compilation of Recipes from MARGARET SANDERS BUELL by Amy O'Neal, ELIZABETH THOMPSON and MEG WALTER (May 2, 2012). This book very literally will provide one with the flavor of old Vermilion. And ye can also find it at Amazon.com. Take a look.
MARY WAKEFIELD BUXTON'S LATEST BOOK "The Private War of William Styron" is available in paper back for $15.00 with tax and can be purchased locally at Buxton and Buxton Law Office in Urbanna, ordered from any book store, Amazon.com or Brandylane Publishing Company. A signed, hard back edition may be purchased from Mrs. Buxton directly for $30.00 by writing her at Box 488, Urbanna, VA 23175 and including $6.00 for tax, postage and packaging.
